Project Gutenberg 1996-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 92 Lindsay, Vachel 1879 1931 Lindsay, Nicholas Vachel The Chinese Nightingale, and Other Poems Produced by A. Light "The Chinese Nightingale and Other Poems" by Vachel Lindsay is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century. This work captures themes of beauty, nostalgia, and cultural exploration through a lens both personal and imaginative, reflecting on the richness of Chinese folklore alongside contemporary societal issues. The opening of the collection introduces "The Chinese Nightingale," a poem that begins with a dialogue between two characters, one named Chang, who draws upon his memories of a vibrant past filled with love and beauty, contrasted against the mundane life of a laundryman in San Francisco. The poem evokes a sense of longing for a lost world, filled with mythical imagery and a nightingale that symbolizes beauty and love, as it reminisces about the vibrant culture of old China. Through this rich tapestry of words, Lindsay weaves a narrative that speaks to the universality of love and the impact of time on human experience, providing a glimpse into the emotional depth present in the rest of the collection.
